Data Science for non-Data Scientists – why?

Data Analytics has become critical for many business decision makers. With new, powerful and affordable tools available on the market, more and more business people are finding they are empowered to do something intelligent with their data. As a result, many businesses already have a number of valuable super users. Their hybrid role bridges the gap between the high level, technical Data Scientist and the more business-oriented data discovery analyst.

In this unique 5-day training you gain the expertise and skills to perform some of the analytics functions that have been traditionally reserved for Data Scientists.

Data Scientists – worldwide shortage

The demand for Data Scientists continues to grow beyond supply. Companies of all kinds are feeling the acute shortage of trained Data Scientists today. Empowering business people to do much of the data analysis themselves allow the highly trained Data Scientists to focus on the things that require their specific expertise.

As a business user/non-Data Scientist you can succeed in this critical position, but only if you are empowered with the right tools and processes. You need to be able to analyze the data without having extensive technical knowledge of the underlying IT applications and infrastructure. Self-service data preparation and advanced analytical tools will provide you with the ability to perform the critical task of combining Big Data with your organization's issues and opportunities. The growing set of powerful self-service tools available on the market, make this possible.

Data Science for non-Data Scientists – who should attend?

Is your primary job function outside the field of statistics and analytics? Do you have a line-of-business role, are you a business analyst, data analyst or a member of the Business Intelligence (BI) or IT team? Do you want to practice the self-service data preparation capabilities of SAS and the ease of use of advanced analytics in exploring and visualizing data? Then this is the training for you!

We have developed a unique 5-day curriculum to specifically address the training needs of non-Data Scientists/business users. If you are willing to learn new methods and use new tools, regardless of whether or not you currently use SAS software, then join this 5-day training for the non-Data Scientist.
